The news of the morning comes from Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports, who reports that despite Celtics president Danny Ainge’s statements to the contrary earlier this week, Boston is indeed trying to move Rajon Rondo in a trade to acquire Chris Paul from the New Orleans Hornets. From a story filed in the pre-dawn hours of this morning by Woj: “The Celtics have relentlessly pursued Paul and have presented the Hornets with as many as eight different scenarios that would bring
Chris Paul and Dwight Howard: The Clipper Factor
Would anyone trade for Dwight Howard and/or Chris Paul without a guarantee that he’d remain beyond this season? Quite obviously, as documented in this morning’s post about all the trade scenarios that are out there, the Golden State Warriors are one such team, as are the Boston Celtics. But there is another team, the Los Angeles Clippers, that can trump them all with a mixture of players and draft picks — including a very special one acquired years ago in the Sam
Heisler Column: Now watch the stars stampede to big markets
Good news for you little markets … You’ll be making a lot more money! Unfortunately, as far as competing with the big teams, they’ll be them and you’ll still be you for a while, or, possibly, forever, whichever comes last. Whether it was overdue or the owners were due that much, they redressed the economic balance once and for all. Of course, there was a price — and, as usual, it was their non-economic demands that would have leveled the playing field for the
Dwight Howard can bring some clarity today
Today is the day Superman can reveal his true intentions. At least that’s the way it should go sometime after 10 a.m. EST when Dwight Howard and Orlando Magic general manager Otis Smith are finally permitted to speak to each other for the first time since June 30. We are now nine days removed from the tentative settlement to end the NBA lockout, and we’ve already been treated to two different versions of the Chris Paul story — he has made it

The financial ramifications of trades involving Dwight Howard and Chris Paul
Regarding Dwight Howard and Chris Paul and their respective trade desires, it is worth explaining in dollars and sense why they’d prefer to be dealt sooner rather than later. In order for them to get the most possible money, they’ll need to finagle a way into landing in their desired destinations prior to the trade deadline. And despite all the hand-wringing over the owners’ capitulation in negotiations over the so-called Carmelo Anthony rule, neither of those guys is likely to do an extend-and-trade. Here’s
Sheridan Column: Five Hidden Gems in Free Agency
Well, it has become pretty clear that Nene is going to be the No. 1 free agent out there, and somebody is going to give him a max deal. The Nuggets, Nets, Warriors, Rockets, Pacers, Clippers and Trail Blazers were among the teams that contacted his representatives yesterday, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports is reporting. If you need a pure scorer, Jamal Crawford is the No. 1 option, and here were a LOT of teams impressed by what J.J. Berea brought
Talking ’bout Rajon Rondo, the Mavs and Team USA
I don’t think the Celtics should trade Rajon Rondo. I think the NBA champion Dallas Mavericks are going to have to overpay to keep both Tyson Chandler and J.J. Barea. And I also foresee an epic gold medal game between the United States and Spain at the 2012 London Olympics next summer. (From our archives is this piece I wrote in September regarding the Spanish team’s chances in the Olympics after covering EuroBasket 2011 in Lithuania, along with this piece on
